INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR CERAMIC AND STONE TILE
FINISHING, EDGE PROTECTION, VISUAL ENHANCEMENT, AND SLIP-RESISTANCE
Ceramic and stone tiles are brittle
materials whose exposed edges are
prone to cracking and chipping when
left unprotected. Tiled stair edges that
do not utilize appropriate trim pieces
are left vulnerable to chipping and
breaking and can create a slip hazard,
especially in exterior applications.

stair-nosing profiles protect
exposed tile edges and improve
safety on tiled stairways by providing
slip-resistant wear surfaces and
increased visibility in both residential
and commercial applications.

-RONDEC-STEP is a
finishing and edging profile for ceramic
tile and natural stone installations on stairs
and countertops. The profile features a
trapezoid-perforated anchoring leg, which
is secured in the mortar bond coat beneath
the tile. The top of the profile features
a symmetrically rounded edge with
1/4" (6 mm) radius, which matches the
RONDEC profile, while the vertical leg of
the profile hides the exposed edge of
the sub-assembly. In addition, the profile
effectively protects tiles in the edge area
from mechanical and impact stresses.
The integrated joint spacer establishes
a defined joint cavity between the tile
and the profile. RONDEC-STEP is
suitable for residential applications,
e.g., stairs not exposed to heavy traffic,
and countertops. RONDEC-STEP is
available in two vertical leg lengths, 1-1/2"
(39 mm) and 2-1/4" (57 mm), to cover the
edge of the sub-assembly. The profile is
available in anodized aluminum with various
finishes to allow for decorative design and
interesting accents. Matching corners
are available.
2.11 Schluter®-SCHIENE-STEP is a
finishing and edging profile for ceramic
tile and natural stone installations on
countertops, stairs, and tile over tile
applications on walls. The profile features a
trapezoid-perforated anchoring leg, which
is secured in the mortar bond coat beneath
the tile. The top of the profile features
a vertical wall section that finishes and
protects the tile from damage, while the
vertical leg covers the edge of the sub-
assembly, top of the riser, or existing wall
tile edge.
SCHIENE-STEP is available in anodized
aluminum and brushed stainless steel
versions, which have different shapes and
intended uses. The stainless steel version
is available in three vertical leg lengths:
1-1/2" (39 mm) for countertops, 1-3/16"
(30 mm) for stairs, and 7/16" (11 mm) for
tile over tile applications. Matching inside
and outside corners and connectors are
